February/March 2024
 

This edition, we welcome new trends – Pantone has released Peach Fuzz as it’s Pantone Colour of the Year and we have rounded up plenty of peachy products sure to please. We also focus on key themes such as Easter and Spring. I love this time of year, as people want to say goodbye to winter and eagerly await the fresh lemon hues and gingham prints to hit the high streets.

You can also check out all the latest industry news as well as some great interviews with King Cole and Metallic Elephant, to name a few.

Happy reading!
